Music for my American soldiers!
First off, I'm extremely proud of the way we Americans worked together in the CEC battle. Hell, I'm extremely proud of the way of the way we Americans took care of business all day! Damn near 25 million damage for us, which is yet another major record broken for us in daily damage. I salute our MUs, our senior players, our newbies, our cabinet and all our leaders who took care of business during my one day absence.
We're beginning to show our strength, and soon, everyone will have to take notice. We're growing by leaps and bounds daily, and not even partial occupation can keep us down.
I'm also extremely proud of our congress, who reacted so quickly to the declaration of war, so I could attack the region as quickly as possible. You guys pulled together extremely well and deserve a pat on the back. This will mean more if we ever need to do this for real, as DoWs are a race for initiative. Not only did they handle this like bosses, they also got our DS' plunked down in a hurry. I also salute them for this.
The sky's the limit if we continue on this course, 'Merica. I can't wait to see our progress in another month, a week, even tomorrow.
We've also cut the strength disparity between us and the top ten down to 106k, as we stand at: 323,498 strength. Not bad, 'Merica. Not bad at all.
I'm sure this won't come as a surprise to too many in the know. Aside from France, VETO has never done anything but scold us when we're not at their beck and call, and we never even received so much as a thank you for when we do prioritize their little RWs.
So I want to make this clear. VETO was a hostile environment for us, we were never valued, and we have no regrets in regards to making this split, aside from potential problems this may cause with France and despite the cries of "traitor!" from
DarkDwain , which I find funny.
If you'd rather continue babysitting countries that can't defend themselves and that is your ONLY goal for existence, please do so. The USA, however, has no wish to be involved in this.
On one hand, you complain that TM treats countries like drains, but VETO does the same. The only difference is that you ARE the drain, but I find it humorous that VETO HQ has failed to realize this.
Let me tell you a story about a failed alliance in the OTHER game. It was named Sol. Sol was an alliance full of small countries that banded together for mutual defense, and they even had pretty popular war games to sustain them for some time. Ultimately, this alliance failed, due to power players being involved with it. Once the bigger countries realized they could simply take what they wanted, despite the "alliance" being in effect, it wasn't long before most of the countries were being wiped, or leaving before it happened. Point being, living RW to RW is no real goal for existence.
I wish you well, VETO, but please. Don't act like this is any big surprise. We were never valued members anyway.
You can claim our inactivity all you want to, but don't deny how many times we showed up for Australia and France.
You can claim our non-participation all you want to, but don't deny your meetings were set up so that it was fairly impossible for us to participate, due to our timezone difference.
I also find it laughable at the reactions in regards to our discussions with countries not in VETO. The SG of VETO,
BigBrother44 was present and made aware of our NAP stipulations and any other dealings we've had in this regard. If he chose not to share them with the rest of you, this is not our failing. This is yours, for treating us like outsiders. Furthermore, despite that stipulation in our NAP for us to leave VETO, we stuck around for an extra month and a half.
1. Because of our relations with France.
2. Because of our respect for
habibsahab .
I salute our diplomatic corps for handling this for me while I was indisposed for a day. Some parties may want to treat this like I was too "cowardly" to tell them this myself, but I had RL engagements all day, and was unable to relay anything to anyone. If
DarkDwain has the balls to meet me in our channel, I'll be perfectly fine telling him this in person.
If you failed to realize this statement is true, then you're simply a fool, and time will prove my assertions right.
In domestic news, I'd like to congratulate
Feefaroni , 
DannyCrowley and all our other Party Presidents celebrating their victories tonight.
I genuinely hope you guys take
LexLuthor1 's words to heart and work on defining your parties beyond the same old retreads from eRep. That game is bollocks for a reason, guys. Reach a little bit and find some of your inner creativity. I know you have it.
In further domestic news, now would be a good time to start grain companies, as increased production will not only benefit our consumers, but our communes for our MUs and our country overall.
We have some brave new horizons ahead, America and I have every reason to believe that we can only continue to grow stronger.
I salute each and every one of you.
Signing off!

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
